NFleischer 4,355 Posted August 5, 2013 Rule of thumb is that its possible to get upto a 28% discount off marked prices in store. Not usually for Omega, Panerai, Rolex and other Luxury brands. Omega now sells almost exclusively through their Boutiques and do not offer deep discounts. Even the Gray Market dealers like Joma Shop do not give those discounts on these brands. Tag, Breitling, Tissot, Ebel, etc. are often on sale for 30-40% off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alw 0 Posted August 5, 2013 Here where I live I´ve gotten 15-20% off. That applies at least to Omega and Breitling but of course not to Rolexes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NFleischer 4,355 Posted August 5, 2013 Actually I just looked @ Jomashop and they offer discounts of about 15-23%, not bad. The problem with these online dealers- No Factory Warranty. I just learned the hard way. I have to spend $500 to service a Radiomir that would most likely be under warranty still. I bought it from TheWatchery. I'm still a bit a ahead because it was about 28% off including the taxes I would have paid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mayjas 0 Posted August 6, 2013 got a good offer from an AD in India & considering the current currency exchange rate for Indian Rupee, the watch comes to around USD.2950 (EUR.2220) Thats almost a discount of 34% comparing to the local AD prices (AD listed price in Dubai is around USD.4495) so will make my final decision by tonight...... what do ya all say, shud i go for it???
